(Reuters) - French newspaper "Le Monde" said its twitter account and publishing tool were hacked by a group called the "Syrian Electronic Army", an amorphous hacker collective that supports Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"The hackers managed to infiltrate our publishing tool before launching a denial of service," the newspaper said on its website. (bit.ly/1xvPrD5)
